Anyone else notice this? Servers that play like 32 players on a 64 sized map. Bugs the hell out of me when I'm looking for a Dragon Valley or Dalian Plant server. I can never find a 32 man that plays 32 sized maps.

My problem is that those maps are just too damn big for that many people and they take forever. Anyone else feel this way or do you actually like those settings?

Well, it's not breaking the ROE, so who cares? I don't understand what is so great about them. Sure, you get more points in one round, but the round takes longer. (400 points in one long game, vs. 100 in a game that is 1/4th of that length. Same difference.)

400??

Its 300 isn't it.. 330 for the attacking team

I only really play wake, 32 players, and wake is a 64 size map only..

so it doesn't bother me

I play whatever... My clans server usually plays 32 maps sizes to keep it balanced.  But if the map is unbalanced(like Jbad) we put it to 64 to balance it more. The Lake on Jbad is crucial for the USMC.

I agree 32 player limit on a 64 player map turns out to be just a buggy race on some maps and maybe totally one-sided. I hope you aren't playing IO on a 64 player map with only 32 people lol that would hurt!

He means points you score, not tickets for the team.

I like high points servers once in a while, different style of game. But if I had to chose between high points servers and overpopulated or normal-population servers, I'd go normal-pop.

I like it, but not for the points.

I like to be able to spawn and walk/run/ride into battle. In the 32/32 64/64 servers I tend to spawn in the middle of battles more often. Very often right in a crossfire. That's not very fun.

With the bigger maps/less people server everyone is more spread out. So if you don't have an uncap it's easier to find a point where there's no fight going on and there's no enemy trying to cap it.

They are great, but I think that many of you out there know this:

They are not high point servers if:

The other team has all the good players (which it usually has) This results in no time to that the crappy team bleeds to death in no time, and the best player gets a max of 50 points.....

Max 16 players. Everybody waits for helis and aircrafts and the other team takes all the flags, resulting in bleeding to death and baserape.

No commander, nobody wants to command cause everybody is waiting for aircrafts and helis, and also the commander if there is one, resulting in bleeding to death and baserape.

OK, then there are these late night games, 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4, two guys in helis and two in aircrafts, and one of them is a commander. The battle ends up with HUUUUUUGE SCORE, BUT, and i say BUT!!!
Did you win anything by this?? did you fu...

Sure you have a huge score, but lets say that you have 75 to 130 kills, but you have as much deaths as well.
And the battle took 2 hours... you got lets say about 200 points for this, you would have gained much more in normal severs and the battles would have been much more exciting, plus you get more enemies this way, "killed by wet_fart 32 times...."

So they are good if you need a badge or something, but this is not the way get promotions fast.
I have played lots of rounds in these servers, and maybe 10 of them were actually great...

This is off course my opinion, correct me if I´m wrong here!!!!
